Why Not Every Company Is A Customer-Centric Company
If being customer-centric was easy, everyone would do it. It takes a lot of effort to connect people in our increasingly disconnected world.
This session addresses some of the problems we know we are fighting against:
- Everyone is becoming more disconnected (COVID didn't help)
- We automate and delegate away those precious interactions with customers
- We are too busy for the very people we exist to help
- What are the consequences of being disengaged from our customers?
Discussion: What are our biggest challenges? Threats?
We end this session with a message of hope that disconnection can be fought with a case study from Jeff Bezos at Amazon.

You may have an inspiring "Why" but to achieve it, you need a Who. Every great Why needs a Who. Every company started with a leader who saw a problem and sought to fix it.

The team will get clarity on:
